Jeera Alu Sabzi (Cumin Potatoes Dry Vegetable)

This one is an easy and quick recipe – but is divinely yummy – one of the regular favorites of DH and mine. It can be had even for fasts (vrat wali sabzi) …

It is delish with rotis/parathas or even with rice.

 

 

Ingredients:

Potatoes: 3

Cumin seeds: ½ teaspoon

Green chillies: 3

Oil: 1 tablespoon

Salt to taste

Juice of ½ a lemon/lime

 

Method:

1. Boil the potatoes till soft and done. Allow to cool and peel.



2. Crumble to small pieces – avoid mashing to a pulp.
3. Chop the green chillies – you can chop into fine pieces or to ½ cm pieces as per your choice.
4. In a heavy bottomed (non-stick) pan, add the oil and the cumin seeds.
5. When they begin to pop, add the chopped green chillies and sauté for a few seconds.
6. Reduce the heat to low.
7. Add the potatoes and salt to taste. Mix gently so that the oil and spices are blended with the potatoes.
